The coperto is €1.5, but Mario (there really is a Mario) rounded down to 10 even. Great place. (P.S. An old menu was still posted outside. And the bread was not fresh one night, but fine the other.

Great little pizzeria in not so great night. My son and I…read moredecided to walk one evening to this place from our hotel and we ended up coming across some sketchy people. We arrived to this place around 8pm on Friday. The best place was not too busy. We got a table right away but waited some time to place an order since there was only one waiter. We dont speak Italian and the waiter spoke very little but with the help of google translator and a lot of hand gestures we ended up ordering what I hope everyone wanted. My son and I we each got a pizza. He got one with sausage and I went crazy and get the pizza astronauta (octopus, potatoes and olives). I know - I live by the rule that pizza must have no more than one ingredient plus mozzarella but I couldn't pass this specific creation. We also got sea food spaghetti and pizza margarita for my wife and daughter who stayed at the hotel. All of the food was delicious. My daughter who doesn't eat more than half a slices at home finished half of her pizza and had some spaghetti. Overall experience was great and the place was not too pricey. If you decide to visit this pizzeria do it during the day or drive to and from your hotel.

Their food is typical Ligurian style with local classics and lots of options for pasta, fish and meat. I wanted good seafood so, I ordered the local fish stewed in a tomato gravy with olives. This is a huge dish and takes about 30 mins to prepare and, enough for two people to share :-)) at €17 for this main, it's the best fish I have had in a long time. It's a dish made with mussels, prawns, scampi, sardines, cod and couple of other local fish I don't know the names of. Caution : if you don't like bones then don't order this dish ;-)) I even ate the prawns in their shell as it was a thin edible shell. Many people don't like this but, this type of prawn should be eaten whole without peeling :-))) For dessert I had a fabulous milk based cake with a strawberry jus. All in all a fabulous meal and the place was packed outside with no tables free for the evening. Prices are very reasonable and I would have paid almost twice that for the same food in France or Germany :-) If you want good local Genoa cooking with some decent local wines then check this place out. For service and friendliness it gets 5 stars :-))

From the moment my husband and I walked up to the doors, we were ignored and treated as if we were in the way. Finally, a man came to ask us what we wanted... my husband said "hello, do you have space for 2?" The man said "no, we are full and it is only by reservation" and they clearly were not. So my husband asked for a reservation for the following day and was rejected so he tried for the next two days and the man said "no, no! Always full!" So basically, he did not want us to eat here, ever! I've never been treated so badly in front of other people (who were clearly waiting for a table) and embarrassed.
